stærðarmikil

stærðarmikil is an Icelandic adjective that translates to "large-sized," "considerable," or "substantial" in English. It is formed from the noun stærð, meaning "size" or "magnitude," and the adjective mikil, meaning "big" or "great." The adjective is used to describe things that are notably large in physical dimensions, quantity, or importance.

For example, one might use stærðarmikil to describe a stærðarmikil bygging, meaning a large building, or a stærðarmikil upphæð, referring to a substantial amount of money. It can also be applied to abstract concepts, such as a stærðarmikil áskorun, signifying a considerable challenge. The word conveys a sense of significant scale, implying that the subject in question is not ordinary in its size or scope. Its usage is common in everyday Icelandic conversation and written texts.
